We have the pleasure to invite you to join us for a policy forum focused on accelerating the green hydrogen market!

This event brings together EU policymakers, industry leaders, and leading researchers to co-create actionable policy recommendations that accelerate the green hydrogen market.

Register here!

Through discussions and collaborative insights, we will explore how research, innovation, procurement, investment, and standards can break down supply-demand barriers.

The event will especially focus on green hydrogen as a pathway to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, with steel at the core.
